Accuracy of iodine removal using dual-energy CT with or without a tin filter: an experimental phantom study.

ConclusionBoth with and without a tin filter, iodine removal was accurate under a threshold of iodine concentration. Although a surrounding structure with higher attenuation decreased the accuracy, a tin filter improved the margin of error.
